I Hear the Rain

Who hears the rain better than I?
Softly at first, almost a sigh.
Then pelting, melting, hard on the roof
Angry, yet soothing,
Do you need more proof?
The rain is my pal,
My buddy, my friend.
I love when it comes,
My day at an end.
Some hate the rain,
Though I cannot agree
I live for the rain 
When it falls just for me.

Thank you, Ilene. I do love the rain and the snow too. One of these days I'll write a poem about snow, although I won't be very popular here in Indiana. I've been reading some of your work and will pass along some feedback soon. I appreciate yours!
